We passed court a year ago today making us "official" parents. I felt like G's mama since we saw his referral photo though. The year has flown by and I just realized we started the whole process 2 years ago this month.

Everyone says it's crazy how the time just flies by.

Everyone is right.

I spent practically every waking moment with Gadisa and I have since we first saw each other. On Wednesdays, when I have a sitter for a few hours during the day, I find myself missing him and anxious to get back to this little guy. Even amid the frustrations and challenges of him (Really, G...you need to try and unplug my computer again? What is your fascination with electrical outlets?!) I am always remembering The Wait. The hours and days of sitting in silence in his room just craving to hold him.

Why Ethiopia?

Since 2007 we have sponsored Joyce in Zambia. Being able to get to know her and see how this helps her family and their future has been so educational and inspirational to us. When we decided to start our family, it was just very natural for us to choose adoption and to adopt from this region.
